Network Monitoring

Network monitoring is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week*
to hosts on a subscription basis. Upon an alarming event, we will
notify IT Support Staff by mode of choice and alert them of an
availability problem. Service allows for time of day variance.

* Excluding New Year's Day (1/1), Independence Day (7/4),
Memorial Day (the last Monday in May), Thanksgiving (the
fourth Thursday in November), and Christmas (12/25).

Ordering

Configure - The server's sysadmin configures
the SNMP daemon/service on the device to be monitored.

Ensure that the device's firewall, if enabled, does not block
SNMP packets from the NCS network monitoring server (NMS).

SNMP Check - The server's sysadmin should verify
that the device is ready to be monitored by querying it with
the UB
SNMP Check Utility. This utility requires the device's IP
address and community string. Successful completion of this step
guarantees that Network Operations will be able to add the device
to Spectrum.
